Days for Girls (DfG) is a worldwide project which involves women coming together to make washable, easy-to-use, feminine hygiene kits for girls in developing countries. In some countries, due to poverty, many girls have no feminine hygiene provision and can’t go to school during menstruation, therefore missing out on large parts of their education. (1 week in 4)

We run small & friendly FREE workshops for women of all ages to help make up the low-cost, cleverly designed kits, which are then packed by volunteers and delivered to the girls and women.
